"It’s only when you grow up and step back from him–or leave him for your own home–it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it."

Father! to God himself we cannot give a holier name.

There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found

While journeying east and west -

The only folks we really wound

Are those we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know,

We please the fleeting guest,

And deal full many a thoughtless blow

To those who love us best.

"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters."

We should all aspire in life to do a multitude of things well - to be a great father, to be a good husband, to be a good lover, you know, to try to do things the best you can is very important to me.

"I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids."

The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.

"Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development."

I imagine God to be like my father. My father was always the voice of certainty in my life. Certainty in the wisdom, certainty in the path, certainty always in God. For me God is certainty in everything. Certainty that everything is good and everything is God.

A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope."
